New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams won his appeal of a $45,020 fine for his hit on Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren in Week 7, NFL Network reported Thursday.
The fine was rescinded in full by NFL appeals officer Derrick Brooks, a former linebacker and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Williams tackled Warren with the Steelers facing first-and-goal at the Jets’ 3-yard line with 8:40 left in the third quarter of Pittsburgh’s 37-15 home victory on Oct. 20. Williams was not penalized on the play, but the league later fined him for unnecessary roughness/use of helmet.
Williams, 28, has 80 tackles, one sack, six tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in starting all 11 games.
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Murray State. Williams has 494 career tackles, eight sacks, 45 tackles for loss, 15 quarterback hits, one interception, eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 77 games (63 starts) for the Jaguars (2019-20) and Jets (2021-present).
Williams signed a three-year, $18 million contract before the 2023 season.
